Why two Punta Gorda quotes can differ
Wall area is not floor area
A 2,000 sq ft house usually has more wall area than floor area once you count gables and two stories. Measure the wall, not the floor.
Style
Clapboard vinyl siding runs $4-$7 per sq ft installed; board-and-batten is $5-$9 (HomeGuide).
Old siding removal
Taking the old siding off costs $0.70-$2.00 per sq ft. Check that disposal is included.
What local crews earn in Punta Gorda
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Punta Gorda the blend is 0.85.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $23.33 an hour, 20% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $20.62 and $28.72 an hour. About 340 work in the metro. That is 59.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $21.88 an hour, which is 3% below the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $18.16 and $23.74 an hour. BLS counts 810 of them working in the area, 140.8 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211) carry 10% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Punta Gorda metro, so we used the Florida statewide median: $23.87 an hour against $29.71 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $19.61 and $28.87 an hour.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $930 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $470. That is a swing of roughly 3.1% to 6.1% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Punta Gorda has 57,530 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 297th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
